Yueyang Luo/Yut-Yeoung Lo is an artist, a post-student, and a Chinese female. Her work is situated in event, action and built environments, channeling outputs that resembles the form of (interactive) installation and (collaborative) workshop. Adopting sound, moving image, text, and object of interest as her material, she sees her practices as utopian-building, eager to create a space for hope. Her most recent project “untangling entanglement” is a series of workshops that excavate speaker wires as socio-media objects. She is also one of the contributors in the experimental essay “Aether to Wires to Rust, and Back Again” published on the third volume of Metode “Currents.”

Sites and text, translation and gestures, tools and toys, work and play; My practice delves inside the syntax of these four axes that position myself in time-space. I adopt these terms as my markings, a conceptual scale that puts all of my past and future practices in relation to one another, they simply exist for I am interested in seeing the world in such a way. My practice is therefore undeniably personal, yet, I seek out meaningful connection with people through the form of workshops. Engaging, communicating and sharing, is how I make sense of my work in relation to its surroundings. In this case, my practice is also inevitably collective, thus sites are no longer anchored in geographical locations but paved as a form of social practice.

My sincere hope is that people can be free from war, poverty, discrimination and the desire for destruction.
